Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fleece waterproof?

It is water-resistant thanks to a DWR finish, but it is not fully waterproof.

Does it contain PFAS?

No, this garment is manufactured without PFAS/forever chemicals.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold with like colors, do not use fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low.

Is it a true cropped fit?

Yes, it features a cropped length designed to sit higher on the waist than a standard fleece.

Can I wear this in deep winter?

It is best used as a mid-layer under a heavier coat in deep winter, or as a standalone piece in mild conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to be fading

Apply a standard outdoor fabric DWR re-proofer spray following the manufacturer's instructions.

Fleece feels matted after washing

Gently brush the Sherpa fabric with a soft-bristled brush once dry to restore the loft and fluffiness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally friendly PFAS-free design
  • Soft, warm Sherpa fleece material
  • Stylish cropped look suitable for urban and trail use
  • Water-repellent finish for light weather

Cons

  • Cropped length may not offer full torso coverage
  • Fleece material requires specific laundry care to maintain loft
  • Limited to half-snap instead of full-zip functionality

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your fleece lasts, avoid using fabric softeners during wash cycles, as they can degrade the DWR coating. Wash in cold water with similar colors and tumble dry on low heat. Because this is a unisex-style garment, check the size chart carefully against your measurements, as the cropped fit may affect how you want the garment to sit on your hips. For layering, this fleece works best under a shell jacket during extreme winter conditions, or as a standalone top when the temperature sits between 45°F and 60°F.
